Sorry, the book was ok. I personally didn't like how the story unfolded. I found myself lost at certain points in the book. The ending was rushed and left me with a feeling of "that's it...that's how it's going to end?"
It's imperfect, yes. The ending especially feels rushed, but the characters are so vividly crafted and the writing is so beautiful that I still found myself totally immersed in it.
